Martha Beck

When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you.

This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck
Image
No one else can take risks for us, or face our losses on our behalf, or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows, and when death comes, we meet it alone.
Martha Beck

Good fortune has side effects.
Martha Beck
Image
In the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can't.
Martha Beck
Image
